As the sun set on the Empire Polo grounds, Capital Cities delivered a fun, energetic and crowd pleasing performance at the outdoor stage during weekend 2 of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

The indie pop group from Los Angeles started with the popular "Kangaroo Court" which pumped up the sizable crowd.

Wearing brightly colored matching blazers from what appeared to be Palm Springs' own Mr. Turk, the band danced and delivered.

In addition to playing their own hits they slow jammed versions of "Staying Alive" which morphed into "The Sweater Song."
